This synthesizer is derived from and based upon Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero theory. His theory is that time is a complex wave, and the King Wen sequence of the I Ching is a 64 hexagram model from which this complex wave is derived; that the King Wen sequence maps the linear progression of the human states of mind, which ultimately substantiates the timewave. This theory is the basis for the well-known novelty computer program he and others had developed.
